FBI says to release Jeffrey Epstein video that 'PROVES he killed himself' and wasn't murdered

Daily Mail​2 days ago

The FBI has reviewed video footage which confirms Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide, ruling out long-running conspiracy theories that he was murdered.
The billionaire financier died in his prison cell on August 10, 2019 while awaiting his trial on sex trafficking charges.
His famed little black book was said to contain the names of a host of celebrities and high powered people who could have been implicated in his crimes.
When Donald Trump returned to the White House, he signed an executive order which vowed to release documents relating to the child sex trafficker.
Attorney General Pam Bondi made good on that promise the following month, releasing what she called 'phase one' of the long-anticipated files.
But even MAGA loyalists have been disappointed by the government's inaction on the Epstein files, sparking unrest about whether the truth will ever be made public.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino made an effort to clear the air on Thursday on Fox News, assuring the public 'there's no DNA, there's no audio, there's no fingerprints, there's no suspects, there's no accomplices.
'I just want to be crystal clear on this. I am not asking anyone to believe me. I'm telling you what's there and what isn't,' he said.
'There's just nobody there. So I say to people, if you have a tip, let us know. But... there is nothing.
'There's video clear as day. He's the only person in there and the only person coming out. You can see it.'
Bongino vowed to release the video to give voters peace of mind over the incident.
'When you look at the video - and we will release, that's what's taken a while on this. We are working on cleaning it up to make sure you have an enhanced [view],' he said.
'We're going to give the original, so you don't think there were any shenanigans. You're going to see there's no one there but him.'
The assertion marked a U-turn for Bongino, who has previously spread his own conspiracy theories about Epstein's untimely passing.
He alleged on his podcast last year that former President Bill Clinton is 'knee-deep in this Jeffrey Epstein scandal.'
More recently, in February, Bongino said he was 'starting to hear some things about the Jeffrey Epstein files.'
He claimed at the time, 'You do not know all the details of this thing, I promise.'
Trump has also shared his own skepticism about Epstein's cause of death.
He had shared a tweet on his page questioning how the convicted pedophile could have died while on full-time suicide watch.
'How does that happen...' the tweet read, before alleging that Epstein 'had information on Bill Clinton and now he's dead.'
But FBI Director Kash Patel shot down theories earlier this month, assuring the public that Epstein died by suicide.
Patel then said that everyone has a 'right to their opinion.'
'But as someone who has worked as a public defender, as a prosecutor, who's been in that prison system, who has been at the Metropolitan Detention Center, who's been in segregated housing - You know a suicide when you see one,' he replied.
Patel's comments sparked fury from the pedophile's younger brother, Mark Epstein, who told the Daily Mail that Patel, 'wasn't there, he didn't see the body, he didn't see the autopsy. [He has] no idea what the f*** he's talking about.'
'It would be a lot easier for me if I thought it was suicide, but there's a long list of things that point away from it,' he added.
The public are still waiting on Bondi's promised 'phase two' of the files after the disappointing first tranche was made public.
The contact list, which has previously circulated in various forms, shows redacted information for dozens of the Hollywood, political and fashion elite and was purportedly compiled by Epstein and his longtime confidante Maxwell. Personal contact information was redacted throughout the list.
Names who are in the address book include Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, actor Alec Baldwin, Ethel Kennedy, Andrew Cuomo, Naomi Campbell and Courtney Love.
Both Harvey and Bob Weinstein, the late Senator Ted Kennedy; actor Ralph Fiennes, Alan Dershowitz; John Kerry, Dustin Hoffman, Donald Trump 's late first wife Ivana and daughter Ivanka Trump are included among the contacts.
The president himself is not listed. There is no suggestion that any person named in his contact book is linked to the atrocious crimes Epstein committed.Meanwhile, any evidence of a 'client list' have not yet emerged.

Palestinians block and empty dozens of UN food lorries in Gaza Strip

The WFP said that 77 trucks carrying aid, mostly flour, were stopped by hungry people who took the food before the vehicles were able to reach their destination. A nearly three-month Israeli blockade on Gaza has pushed the population to the brink of famine. While the pressure slightly eased in recent days as Israel allowed some aid to enter, organisations said there still is not nearly enough food getting in. Hamas on Friday said it was reviewing a US proposal for a temporary ceasefire. President Donald Trump said that negotiators were nearing a deal. A Palestinian girl waits to collect (Abdel Kareem Hana/AP) A ceasefire would pause the fighting for 60 days, release some of the 58 hostages still held in Gaza in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and much-needed food aid and other assistance, according to Hamas and Egyptian officials. The WFP said the fear of starvation in Gaza is high despite the food aid that is entering now. 'We need to flood communities with food for the next few days to calm anxieties and rebuild the trust with communities that more food is coming,' said agency said in a statement. A witness in the southern city of Khan Younis told The Associated Press that the UN convoy was stopped at a makeshift roadblock and unloaded by thousands of desperate civilians. Most people carried bags of flour on their backs or heads. He said at one point a forklift was used to offload pallets from the stranded trucks. The United Nations said earlier this month that Israeli authorities have forced them to use unsecured routes within areas controlled by the Israeli military in the eastern areas of Rafah and Khan Younis, where armed gangs are active. An internal document shared with aid groups about security incidents, seen by the AP, said there were four incidents of facilities being looted in three days at the end of May, not including the convoy on Saturday. The UN said it been unable to get enough aid in because of fighting. Meanwhile, Israel is continuing its military campaign across Gaza.

It said three people were hit by Israeli gunfire early on Saturday morning in the southern city of Rafah. Three other people were killed – parents and a child – when their car was struck in Gaza City. The war began when Hamas attacked Israel on October 7 2023, killing around 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and taking 250 hostages. Of those taken captive, 58 remain in Gaza but Israel believes 35 are dead and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said there are 'doubts' about the fate of several others. Israeli strikes have killed more than 54,000 Gaza residents, mostly women and children, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

UK trade secretary to seek exemption from US steel and aluminium tariffs

The UK's trade secretary, Jonathan Reynolds, will meet his US counterpart next week to thrash out a timeline for exempting the UK from US steel and aluminium tariffs after Donald Trump announced he would double them. British officials are seeking clarity on the implications of Trump's announcement on Friday night that he planned to double the tariffs from 25% to 50% from Wedneday 4 June, piling further pressure on global steel trade. Reynolds is expected to meet his US counterpart, Jamieson Greer , at the OECD meeting in Paris next week. He will seek to agree a timeline for implementing the deal agreed to lower steel, aluminium, auto and other product tariffs. A UK government spokesperson said: 'The UK was the first country to secure a trade deal with the US earlier this month and we remain committed to protecting British business and jobs across key sectors, including steel.' 'We are engaging with the US on the implications of the latest tariff announcement and to provide clarity for industry.' The Guardian reported that British officials were intensifying trade talks with the US and hope to see the deal implemented within weeks. A government source said: 'Some countries are viewing the court ruling as an indication that they were right not to negotiate over tariffs. We're taking the opposite view, and trying to get this deal implemented as soon as possible.' Trump and Keir Starmer announced a US-UK trade deal earlier this month under which on British steel and aluminium will be reduced to zero, and tariffs on up to 100,000 British cars a year will be reduced from 25% to 10%. The deal did not cover Trump's blanket 10% tariffs on all foreign imports, which a federal court overturned last week, arguing that the US president had overstepped his powers. An appeals court paused the ruling and said Trump's tariffs could continue while it examines the arguments. The European Commission said on Saturday that it 'strongly' regretted Trump's decision to double steel and aluminium tariffs, and warned that the EU was prepared to retaliate. 'This decision adds further uncertainty to the global economy and increases costs for consumers and businesses on both sides of the Atlantic,' a spokesperson for the commission said, adding that 'the tariff increase also undermines ongoing efforts to reach a negotiated solution'. 'The EU is prepared to impose countermeasures, including in response to the latest U.S. tariff increase.' 'The European Commission is currently finalising consultations on expanded countermeasures. If no mutually acceptable solution is reached, both existing and additional EU measures will automatically take effect on 14 July – or earlier, if circumstances require.'

Jennifer Lopez makes shock dating life confession after THAT lesbian kiss with backup dancer

Jennifer Lopez has made a shocking confession about her dating life after she kissed both a female and make backup dancer during the 2025 American Music Awards on Monday. The On The Floor songstress, 55 - who is giving her new lavish $21 mansion a 'sexy glow up' - shared her response to comedian Tiffany Haddish saying she wanted to go 'manhunting' together during an interview with Access Hollywood. 'She said that to me,' Lopez said with a laugh just moments after the event came to an end. 'I said, "Girl I'm not looking for no man." I'm happy right now. I'm not trying to ruin it.' The star's divorce from Ben Affleck was officially finalized earlier this year in January - following only two years of marriage. Haddish also took to the stage after Jennifer's opening performance at the AMAs to announce the first award of the evening - but first gave a message to Lopez.

Just from that opening number alone, Jenny From the Block got all her steps in for the day. 'Save some dancing for me JLo, d**n. You ain't the only one out here that's single,' she jokingly added to the live audience inside the Fontainebleau hotel in Las Vegas. Lopez not only performed at the awards ceremony earlier this week, but also took on hosting duties. Her opening number showed the star taking part in energetic choreography as she grooved to a mashup of hit tracks from artists nominated during the night. At one point, Jennifer was seen sharing a kiss with both a female and male backup dancer - which left some fans cringing. One social media user on X penned, 'Jennifer Lopez has lost the plot,' while another added, 'Why is Jennifer Lopez kissing everyone at the AMAs?' 'Why is Jennifer Lopez kissing everyone at the AMAs?' a fan typed out, as others labeled the moment as 'disgusting' and 'desperate.' Following the backlash, a source exclusively told how the singer really feels and explained she 'followed the direction of her PR and she did exactly what she was told to do for her post-Ben [Affleck] comeback.' The insider continued, 'She is living her best life and has zero f***s to give right now. She dealt with so much uncertainty, but she was brave. 'She did not allow the negative commentary to bring her down. Instead, she kept going and living her life.' During the AMAs, Jennifer also announced that she is set to return to Las Vegas for an upcoming residency called Up All Night Live. She will take to the stage at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on select dates beginning from December 30 through March of next year. Lopez is also headlining the WorldPride Music Festival in Washington D.C. next month in June alongside singer Troye Sivan. While recently talking to People, the beauty opened up about her excitement for a 'free and happy' summer. 'I'm excited to tour. I'm excited first to go do Pride. I'm super excited about that. I'm working on that show right now too as we speak, and crafting the tour as well. I'm excited to get back out there.' The performer added, 'It seems like a perfect summer to celebrate being free and being happy. 'Just everything in my life right now just feels really healthy and good, and I'm ready to get out there and make people sing and dance and have a good time. That's always my goal.' Lopez was also previously married to Marc Anthony - whom she shares twins Max and Emme, 17, with. The singer shared to the outlet that her children will also possibly accompany her to the WorldPride Music Festival. 'I think my kids are going to come to Pride because I'm doing more of a concert [at WorldPride], so I'm excited about that. They're sweet. They're the best.' Jennifer then explained why her twins were not at the AMAs this week and said it was due to them both being at 'school.' Ahead of her hosting gig on Monday, Lopez notably suffered a nasty injury to her nose during rehearsals. She was required to get stitches but also got help from celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Jason Diamond. In regards to the injury, the star also told People, 'I hurt my nose. I hit it in rehearsal and I had to get stitches. It was fine. 'A few of us have gotten hurt in rehearsals. We're doing a very high-energy athletic number so it's, I guess, bound to happen.'
